Title: Gas valve
Inventor: STEVEN CRUTCHLEY
IPC: F23N1/00
Filed: 2016-03-23
Abstract: A valve for a domestic gas-burning appliance comprises a body 10 having an inlet 16 and an outlet 20 in communication with a longitudinal internal passage in the body, and a valve spool 30 within the internal passage. The valve spool 30 has two or more longitudinally spaced circumferential O-rings (34, 36, Fig. 7) that form a gas-tight seal between the valve spool 30 and the body 10. A control groove (44, Fig. 7) is formed in an outer surface of the valve spool. A pin 54, fast with the body 10, projects into the control groove 44 of the valve spool 30 and a spindle 60 that is connected with the valve spool 30 projects from the body 10. Rotation of the spindle 60 causes rotation of the valve spool 30 whereupon the pin 55 makes contact with a wall of the control groove 44 to cause linear movement of the valve spool 30 such that the size of a gas flow passage between the inlet 16 and the outlet 20 is varied by the extent to which it is obstructed by the spool.

Abstract: A method to dynamically control and define the location and the behavior of an Automatic Repeat Request, ARQ, retransmission buffer when a base station is physically split into two different entities, which are physically separated. In a RAN centralized architecture, for example for a 5G network, having a functional split between a Centralized Unit (CU) 300 for the upper layers and a Distributed Unit (DU) 200 for the lower layers, connected via a fronthaul link, the location of the ARQ retransmission buffer (i.e. in the CU or the DU or split between both) is critical for performance and efficiency, including the fronthaul latency and minimum traffic data rate. A method is provided for the CU to select S1204 the optimal location of the ARQ retransmission buffer and notify S1206, S1207 the DU of the determined location by way of a modified Radio Link Control Protocol Data Unit, RLC PDU, header. The optimal location of the ARQ retransmission buffer will be impacted by different criteria e.g. traffic, radio link quality, MAC layer inputs and may be determined S1204 based on: RLC PDU size, number of unsuccessfully decoded RLC PDUs; fronthaul link latency/load/error rate; memory or CPU of DU; or ACK/NACK rate.

Title: Processing of temporary-register-using instruction
Inventor: XIAOYANG SHEN
IPC: G06F9/38
Filed: 2018-08-24
Abstract: A data processing apparatus performs operation on data stored in temporary registers. When it receives an instruction to perform an operation in a source register, it detects whether the value in the source register has been copied to a temporary register in response to a previous instruction. If so, the operation is performed using the value already in the temporary register. If not, the value is copied to a temporary register and the operation is carried out. The apparatus may us vector registers as temporary scalar registers or scalar registers as temporary vector registers. The instruction may be decoded to produce a move micro-instruction, which is tagged to indicate that the location of the source value should be checked. The temporary register may be a register that has not been mapped to an architectural register. The instruction may be a gather-load or a scatter-store instruction.
Patent GB-2579057-A (GB)
Title: Accelerometer
Inventor: ALAN MALVERN
IPC: G01P15/125
Filed: 2018-11-16
Abstract: An accelerometer 2 comprises a planar proof mass that is linearly moveable in an out-of-plane sensing direction. First and second sets of moveable capacitive electrode fingers 50, 52 extend in-plane from the proof mass perpendicular to the sensing direction and interdigitate with first and second sets of fixed capacitive electrode fingers 46, 48. The first set of fixed fingers 46 are thinner than the first set of moveable fingers 50, while the second set of fixed fingers 48 are thicker than the second set of moveable fingers 52. In use, each of the adjacent pairs of interdigitated fingers 46, 48, 50, 52 will have an electric field between their opposing faces. The degree of ‘overlap’ between the opposing faces of the thinner and thicker fingers 46, 48, 50, 52 will determine the capacitance between them. Due to the different thicknesses, the capacitance of one set of interdigitated fingers will increase while the capacitance of the other set of interdigitated fingers will decrease for an out-of-plane acceleration.
